Stuck between 2 wheels and would like oppinions
I own a CS 350z perf. Only mods I have are Vogtland springs and and SPC rear camber kit. I have recently been looking into wheels. Volks and SSR wheels are within my budget, but with road conditions in KY and this being my daily driver I do not have want or need to spend that much money on wheels...SO!
Option 1
Konig Zero-IN staggered
18x8 +35 front
18x9.5 +25 rear
The wheels are not that heavy at all. The rears are 21 pounds each and the front ones are 20 pounds each.
Option 2
5Zigen ZR+520
18x8.5 in either +25 or +32 offsets for front
18x9.5 in either +20 or +30 offsets in the rear
However, these wheels are heavy as fawuhhk
the fronts are 27 pounds, rears are about 29.
Option 3
5Zigen FN01rc
Same size and similar offsets as the ZR+520
Similar weight to the Konig wheels
Also, What is the ideal offset for 350z's???
And I will not do ROTA's or any other knock off wheel in case someone suggests it.

There is a wealth of information on this subject throughout the threads...
Frankly, this is an issue which permeates all of our cars.
Wheels are the cornerstone to any sportscar. I simply
think that you can do 99% of your research in the readily
available (high traffic) wheel threads already in place.
When you create a new thread dedicated to your own situation
I would hope that you've already done in-depth research.
I speak from experience. It's not my intent to give you a hard time,
rather help you focus. Get on ebay. There are many setups which will
do the trick.

I looked at the threads concerning the Konig Zero-In wheels...Found nothing
I looked at the rest and found info which was helpful for sure.
Currently I am browsing Enkei's webpage and might end up with a pair of enkei RP03's in the end. Its a tossup between that and the Konigs. I wish I could only find a photo of the Konig wheels on a 350. At least I wont be shopping for tires..its always nice to have some run flats in the garage

the FN01,s are great wheels and you can run the 9.5's up front and you would want the +20's or something close in offset. Enkei Nto3's and RPF1's should also be in your budget and are great wheels.

stay away from the konig's. The 5zigen are meh, but if you really want them, go wide and stay low with the offsets. Generally you want the offset to be no more than 25mm for a conservative fit and you'll want to approach 15mm for more aggressiveness.
Not sure what you have against the Rotas, but they're really not that different than something from 5zigen or Konig.
I would look into the Enkeis. The RPF1 the new PF01 or the RP03 is a good bet. You'll want the 18x9.5+15 front and 18x10.5+15 rear. The RP03 would be 18x9+18 front and I think 18x10+22 rear.

I would buy these over the two choices you have.
https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...eels-19-a.html
If I had the extra cash I'd buy some to DD on.
There is also a set in the classified for 1k new in the box. And I hear they are about that much from this vendor.
